IN fairness to the Kerry supporters, they turned up in their droves to cheer on the team against Kildare in Killarney on Saturday evening. The official attendance was just shy of 18,000, but around 17,000 of those were surely from Kerry. Killarney was buzzing as it always is on a […]

DAYS before Kerry took on Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final replay, Jill Harrington and John Ryle from Tralee asked the people of the town to give their support to the lads in a video they made. Well as a follow-up, Jill and John took to the streets and Austin Stack […]

Kerry fans were up in force judging by the #Fanwall yesterday at Croke Park. This is a opportunity for fans to put their photos on Twitter and Instagram and then their images were projected on the big screens in the stadium. As you can see below, a lot of Kerry […]

‘JOB done’, seems to be the general consensus about Kerry’s performance yesterday at Croke Park, but it was acknowledged there’s still a lot of work to do. It seemed like half of Connacht was at headquarters, but there was still a good few of the Kerry faithful cheering on the […]

THEY went to Dublin in their tens of thousands to support Kerry teams yesterday and they sure made themselves heard. From before midday there were hundreds of Kerry fans milling around the Croke Park Hotel and James Gill Pub, eagerly anticipating the encounters ahead and having a pint to calm the […]

WELL at least the minors won. It’s a consolation and hope for the future, after the heartache of losing to the Dubs yet again. But the Kerry fans certainly made their presence felt in the capital on Sunday. There must have been over 20,000 Kerry supporters in Croke Park and […]

WELL that was unexpected. Not the result of the senior game, we’re talking about the fine weather which no doubt provided a huge boost to the attendance yesterday in Killarney. Cloud and showers were predicted, but Killarney was bathed in sunshine and they’ll be a few red heads around today among […]

THE result was awful but wasn’t it great to be in Croke Park on a fine Sunday afternoon with over 80,000 people as early as April? We’re used to travelling to headquarters on the first weekend in August so it was nice to have an early trip to the capital for […]

OK, it wasn’t a great day in Croke Park yesterday but Kerry people travelled in their thousands to the game and made themselves heard. We were there to capture the atmosphere under the Hogan Stand on a day best forgotten for the men in green and gold. They came from all over […]

WELL that’s one way to escape the rain! Kerry fans who made the trip to Croke Park were rewarded for their loyalty with a terrific display of football from the Kingdom and some glorious sunshine too. While there was persistent rain in Kerry all day, it was dry for players and […]

THIS year’s Allianz National Football League has thrown up four away fixtures for the Kingdom. That means the travelling Kerry support will clock up some serious mileage. 2,576km to be exact and 30 hours on the road in total. Continued below… It’s a good job petrol and diesel prices are […]

YESTERDAY we brought you images of Kerry fans from all over the county up in Dublin for the matches on Sunday. They really turned out in force and we captured them on camera outside The Palace Bar, The Gresham Hotel, Barry’s and the Belvedere Hotel and up in Croke Park […]

FANS welcomed back the two Kerry teams to Tralee last night with mixed emotions on stage as the minors revelled in their success and the seniors reflected on what might have been. The teams were paraded down Denny Street in an open top bus, eventually taking the stage outside the Ashe Memorial Hall […]

WELL, we might have lost the senior match but this certainly didn’t stop the Kerry fans posting some fantastic photos on social media on Sunday to show their support for both teams. Here’s a look at what you GAA fans were posting… The green and gold was flying proudly on Sunday at […]

SO the result didn’t go our way in the senior game on Sunday, but the fans turned out in their tens of thousands to support Kerry in the capital. We caught up with many of them before the game. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have many more later)…

SO how are you this morning? I’ve woken up with a constrictor knot in my stomach that won’t unravel until around 5pm this afternoon. Whether it’s replaced by joy and relief, or despair, is irrelevant. It matters that ‘the knot’ is there. I am, after all, from Kerry. Don’t worry, this article isn’t going […]

HOMES and businesses have been making a huge effort to show their support for the Kerry team by decking their properties in green and gold. Some readers have sent in a few photos of their homes in the Kerry colours, while we took more images of businesses displaying their support. […]

A QUICK drive around the outskirts of town and in a few estates showed Tralee folk are making the effort to show their support for the Kerry teams. We noticed while going through the Mitchels Road, that there were plenty of flags and bunting on view, so we decided to go left […]

THE Kerry faithful turned up at the Fels Point Hotel last night for the live broadcast of ‘Mad For Sam’. The Irish TV production, hosted by Brian Hurley and Síle Ní Dheargáin, had a great atmosphere with some Kerry legends giving their views on the match while Kerry GAA officials […]

IT really was a special day in Killarney on Sunday for Kerry fans. A huge crowd of fans gathered in glorious sunshine at Fitzgerald Stadium to meet the Kerry players in advance of the All-Ireland final in two weeks time. Star players Colm Cooper, Kieran Donaghy and others spent over an […]

THE Kerry Team Open Day, which had been scheduled for Saturday, has now been changed to the following day. It makes sense as Kerry boss, Eamonn Fitzmaurice, would obviously have to be in Croke Park on Saturday evening for the Dublin v Mayo All-Ireland semi-final replay. Instead it will […]

THEY came from every corner of the county and country to watch Kerry reach the final in Croke Park on Sunday. The huge green and gold army made their voices heard among the 53,000 at headquarters and there were scenes of jubilation as the soaked masses celebrated the final whistle. We […]

ONE Kerry mother certainly experienced every emotion under the sun as she watched the team take on the old enemy Tyrone in the All Ireland Semi-Final this past Sunday afternoon. Maureen Fleming and her son Tadhg – well known for his Facebook videos – from Ballymac, did the same as most Kerry […]

NO sooner had referee Maurice Deegan blown his whistle for the end of the match yesterday, than you could almost here people typing away on their various devices trying to book transport and a place to stay for the All-Ireland final weekend. The scramble is on and looking through a […]

REVENGE was served up in headquarters by Kerry when they defeated Tyrone to book their place in the All-Ireland Final. There was plenty of incident in the match and, of course, Twitter was watching… #GAA news: @Kerry_Official beat @TyroneGAALive to reach All-Ireland Football Final » http://t.co/r7vbuVAmkp #KERvTYR pic.twitter.com/JgLKPxdLbI — The GAA […]

There were some fantastic photos taken on Sunday on social media to do with the Kerry v Tyrone match. Here’s a look at what you GAA fans were posting… Even though they were in London, these supporters still made time to watch the match. Laura had a bit of […]

WE were wet, but we were happy! Incredibly, yesterday wasn’t the wettest day Kerry fans have faced this year (remember the Cork replay) but it showed that the commitment involved to support their team through thick and thin. We were under the Cusack Stand to meet people as they dried […]

EARLIER we brought you photos of the Kerry fans in Dublin for the match (click here for previous story). In recent years, the support for Kerry in quarter and semi-finals has been very impressive and despite the lack of glamour about the fixture, there was still a great showing of […]

FROM a spectator’s point of view, it fell somewhere between the Christians v The Lions circa 90AD and a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition game, but Kerry fans didn’t mind. They turned up in their thousands again at our spiritual home and roared their approval as the Kerry forwards ran riot in […]

THE weather may have been a disaster and the less said about the traffic after the better, but we won and we’re off to Croker in a few weeks. Kerry fans turned up in their thousands again for the replay in Killarney and we walked through the town centre to […]
